EDD PFL Payment Delays: Weeks of Waiting, No Response - How to Speed Up?

I found a way to solve paid family leave payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kQr9HE4WVA

Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been waiting for my PFL payment for over a month now. It's like they're playing hide and seek with our money 🙄

Ugh, I feel your pain. Have you tried emailing them? Sometimes that works better than calling.

guys, i think i figured it out. you gotta do the hokey pokey while chanting "EDD, EDD, show me the money" three times. works like a charm 😂

Plot twist: the EDD is actually a secret government program to test our patience. We're all part of a giant social experiment 🤣

This is why we need better government systems. Other countries have this stuff figured out, but here we are, begging for our own money 🙄

have u tried going to the edd office in person? sometimes face-to-face works better

For those of you who haven't heard of Claimyr, it is a service that helps users connect directly with government offices like the EDD by bypassing long hold times on the phone. While it can be a useful tool for those who absolutely need to get in touch quickly, it's also important to note that this service comes with a cost, and not everyone may find it feasible. If you choose to use Claimyr or any similar service, always ensure you read reviews and understand the terms before proceeding. As with any service, results can vary, so it's crucial to consider whether it's the right choice for your situation.

Serious question: has anyone considered legal action? Like a class action lawsuit or something? This is getting ridiculous.

Same boat here. Applied 6 weeks ago and crickets. The system is so broken, it's not even funny anymore.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. Used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

Here's what worked for me after weeks of frustration: 1. Gather all your docs: claim number, SSN, any letters from EDD 2. Write down exact dates of payments (received or missed) 3. Call first thing in the morning, right when they open 4. Be super nice to the rep (even if you're fuming inside) 5. Ask specific questions like "Why is my payment delayed?" and "When can I expect it?" 6. Get a reference number for the call 7. Follow up in a week if nothing changes It's a pain, but persistence is key. Don't give up!

I'm telling you, it's all about who you know. My cousin's friend works at EDD and he said the system is a total mess rn. They're super backlogged.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails end up there. Just a thought.
